Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931)
Be a part of one of the most prestigious programs at the University of Missouri—St. Louis, The Pierre Laclede Honors College. It is a chance to partake in small and discussion oriented seminar classes in a university of 15,000 students. It is a chance to explore interdisciplinary subjects from various perspectives. And, perhaps most importantly, it is a chance for you to learn about yourself---who you are and aren’t…and maybe who you want to be.
Some quick points:
- These are not “extra classes”, rather they are part of your general education that every student has to take to graduate. Our classes are small, roughly 12-15 students, seminar-style courses (discussion-oriented, reading and writing, less test taking).
- There are no extra costs to you; whether or not you are in the Honors College you pay the same per credit hour. In fact, we are an additional source of scholarship money for both academic and residential purposes.
- If you choose, you have a chance to live in a residential hall with others who are a part of a similar unique learning perspective.
- Being a part of the Honors College looks great on your resume.
- You are given a chance to graduate from the University with Honors status, and earn an Honors certificate.
This opportunity offers resources, both personal and scholastic, that will enhance your career path. This same opportunity will reap great rewards over years to come.
